Tube bed???
original plan was for a regular long bed, starting to think more about some sort of flatbed though

Im voting for the tube bed! Love those things!!! 
Ac!
my buddy has a vaccuum pump and gauges so we thought we'd fiddle with the ac system. left the pump on for an hour or so, turned it off and it held a negative vaccuum for 30 mins, good sign. went through 3 cans of freon (auto zone special), and damn...have had cold ac for two weeks now. i've never even wheeled in a truck with ac before, game changer

Ac is next on my to do list for my K30, yours looks great, love the new shoes 
I gotta say tube bed also, especially if you are gonna wheel it, it's a whole different game when you don't have to worry about bed sides and such. I love how mine works,on a tight trail, just get the cab past the tree and then let the bed hit it and help to pivot you around
Oops
, the bed picks hadn't come up when I started typing

Been a few months since I updated this...
Picked up that Warn vr12000 off amazon and got that set up
Then put on the zero rates, pushed the axle back an inch
Then went to install the grizzly locker and what did I find? Gov lock
So had it towed to a shop (sad sight), they had an open carrier just sitting and while it was all apart had them set up 4.56 gears and a grizzly for the front, whole new animal now!
Instead of hacking up the front fenders with a sawzall and cut off wheel decided to have it done right...I'm just not that good
How we're sitting now...

Understatement!
Never heard of a string trick for getting a window in... Heard of using one to get them out.... Hows it work?
Read about it somewhere on the web, found one youtube vid of a guy doing it on a porsche. Basically I wrapped plain old yellow pull string 1 1/2 times around the gasket, put the window up and got it started, then just held one end of the string (use leather gloves) and pulled on the other end (from inside the cab), string just pulled the gasket right in, even the corners went in resonably smooth, took less than ten minutes
